Will there be another series of Criminal Minds?

CBS has confirmed Criminal Minds season 15, but they have also said the series will be the show's last.

Season 14 of the show was renewed in May for a 15-episode run.

This is the smallest number of episodes ever ordered for the series.

Every season previous to 14 has had at least 20 episodes, and every season since season three in 2007 have had at least 22 episodes.

The official reason for this is to allow the channel to feature more original programming.

CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl told Deadline: “As scheduling evolves and we try to get more original episodes on air, we have to cut and paste and sometimes trim episodes on some of those shows to get more originals on the air.”

However, Kahl did not rule out an extended season 14 at some point.

He added: “They possibly can get a couple of more episodes. It depends where they are in production, they will let us know.”
